Very good news: The described problems only arose at first, when I first got (an unpatched) gdm working on sunffb. Before I checked what was wron. The reason was, that I had renamed /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts yesterday night, and instead had a symlink pointing to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts. Obviously this lead to problems, as I had then lofs mounted X11 over openwin during a running Xorg session, so the fonts symlink would point to itself (to nowhere). Now the situation looks much much better. gdm can start with /usr/openwin just being a symlink to /usr/X11. There is a long delay (4 minutes) every time gdm (re-)starts the Xorg server, maybe also fonts related problems. However, after 4 minutes the gdl greeter screen is reached and the keyboard beeps. Then when you try to login into a gnome session it takes a minute, then you are being kicked off (the warning dialouge that the session had been inaktive for more than 15 seconds and that you should try the failsafe xterminal session). The latter works. From there I could just start "gnome-session" and after a while the green Sun-background image came up and the session was started. MOST THINGS WORK!! Only Nautilus could never be started. The other apps would be instable and the CrashReport dialouge would come up 5 times. But all the important apps like FF3, TB, Evolution and so on just start now, don't even give more console warnings than normal. I did not see any missing dlopen() lib or missing symbol warnings or errors. Not sure about the general sluggishness, delay and instability. Maybe it has to do with libXaw, maybe with the fonts, we will find it out. But it cannot be much. I have created a tarball containing misc. output (xdpyinfo, Xorg.0.log, prtdiag, the crash backtraces etc.) : a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/ 0K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/crash0_nautilus.txt 9K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/crash1_nautilus.txt 5K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/crash2_gnome-screenshot.txt 7K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/xdpyoutput_U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3.txt 4K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/prtdiag_U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3.txt 5K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/Xorg.0.log_.txt 13K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/dmesg_gdm_debug.log_.txt 26K a ./U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3/xorg.conf.new 4K bash-3.2$ bzip2 U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3_logs.tar The file is attached. <<U30_FFB2_Xorg_1.3_logs.tar.bz2>> This looks *very* good, because it means that we can use the precompiled JDS stuff already, for SPARC-Indiana. regards % martin bochnig ??????? : ????????? ??????? ? ??????? ?? ?????? ???????. : Ukraine -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
